In other words, both of the following are true (IMHO):
A. Johnny's rigorous statement of what CentOS now is (or yours, it doesn't actually matter who rigorously states it, but Johnny's seemed to really cover all aspects - maybe it's just my reading though)
B. "CentOS is binary replica of RedHat Enterprise Linux" statement is not true as far as new releases are concerned, i.e. not true to build one's future on it
But as everyone is agreed it is counter productive to ponder these things, I will end my side of it by reiterating:
As was stated at Red hat summit though .. while Stream will not be a copy of the downstream RHEL code anymore .. it WILL BE extreamly similar to RHEL + a couple months. In fact at 8.4 release .. Stream is very similar t0 RHEL 8.4 with NO WAITING. CentOS Linux 8 getting upgraded to the 8.4 source code, tested, isos created, etc .. will take a month or so, Stream already has all that content in it RIGHT NOW.
I think that is a positive , not a negative.
